Only if the game is downloaded from the xbox store.

If you he has downloaded a game from the store, he can access it on another console under his profile, but you wouldn't be able to play under your profile

Cheers for that

One more question...

What about if I was to buy the game for my console.. Could he then play from where he left off?? As in same lvl and weapons etc.

Basically I'm looking for a way he can play his own games on my console without having the physical disc...

Sadly his mother won't let him bring the Xbox or games to mine

He won't be able to play them at his house, as it will be on your xbox one which is the "home" console.

Some info posted is incorrect you can both share games on your individual profiles I do it with my brother and we go halves on the downloaded games.

What you need to do is sign in on your xbox with your nephews account then make it your home xbox, he does the same by logging into your account and making it the home xbox the just sign in to your profile as normal

This only allies to downloaded games not disc

You set his profile as home on your console?
